Matthew 24:15 When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
For instance, even though we have been instructed over and over again, to move out into the country we would still need to study God’s providences on an individual basis, lest because of some situational similarities, persons make a move that may not have been ordained by God.
[Last Day Events pp 99] Again, and again the Lord has instructed that our people are to take their families away from the cities, into the country, where they can raise their own provisions; for in the future the problem of buying and selling will be a very serious one. We should now begin to heed the instruction given us over and over again: Get out of the cities into rural districts, where the houses are not crowded closely together, and where you will be free from the interference of enemies.
Indeed, if we were to consider the matter carefully, it could not be God’s will for every saint to move out into the country at this time, because if this were to be the case all of the ongoing ministries in your local neighborhoods would collapse, and church as we’ve known it will come to a screeching halt prematurely.
Proverbs 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
